A-Rod Says He’s “Optimistic” About Case VS MLB

A-Rod made an apparence at David Ortiz’s charity event in the Domincan Republic on Friday. The ruling in his arbitration hearing is expected to be made next month, and his future in the sport hangs in the balance, but A-Rod seemed surprsingly mellow.

The disgraced Yankees third baseman offered the following to the Boston Globe:

“I feel good. I have limits what I can talk about. I look forward to Horowitz making a decision and putting this behind me and getting back to hitting in the middle of the lineup,” Rodriguez said.

“I’m optimistic, hopefully. It’s been a very tough several months. Very tough year. I’m optimistic that [a decision] will come soon,” he said. “We can get it behind us and take all the stuff off the back pages and focus on playing baseball and all great things that are happening with the game.
